Rainbow Dash Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well drawn, but if you're blowing it up to double it's size, whilst using small sprites, there's no way to get detail in there. You should use at least twice the height to get anything in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octohunter Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I tried shifting them forward one pixel and it looked really odd. Right now, I'm leaning towards the one with the arms behind, because I think the problem is with the proportion of the legs to the body or the body shape. But I'll see how it goes.@darkserver: [](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/#7a86ada50492af7a462cf5bd20206352.PNG) Mine only looks pronounced because it's resized.

Jeff Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Eye should be a couple pixels to the right on the side view, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow Dash Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The arms need to be longer. They stop at the waist, they should be about a third of the way down the thigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slym Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Here's an edit. You need to avoid pillow shading. Texture is something very important, especially when dealing with hair. Colors should have much more contrast. The most important thing is that you need to work on the color ramp. Colors when they become darker never stay the exact same hue. For example, a blade of grass has blu-er shadow shades and yellow-er highlight shades. If you need me to explain this to you more, just let me know. Anyway, here's that edit.As far as anatomy, don't stress it. Especially when working with a sprite of this size. However, you still must use basics. Hands reach almost half way down the thigh. Also, if you move the arms out the way you did, the legs need to follow.When you are creating eyes, solid black lines will not work. The eyes in this type of sprite are what defines its style. Another thing is that the face was not shaded darker near the hair, which killed the depth. I hope this all doesn't sound harsh, you are off to a great start![edit] I forgot the biggest issue! The shoulder were realllyyy high in your sprite. Which made him look tense and nervous. I lowered them almost a whole 2 pixels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octohunter Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks for the advice. I didn't even notice the shoulders, haha.Here's take 2 on the side view.[](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/#e468e9b9662ae5afe75b0e6b93db59ec.png)smaller, new palette[](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/#e3b78ab17e6a4499e5d03700456d8574.png)[](http://picasion.com/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The arms are diagonally down in the front stance. That's unnatural. Make them more relaxed, going more straight down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukin Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The left arm also moves with the left leg at the moment. Shouldn't it be left arm forward and left leg back? same goes for the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
